Talk:Book:Nation

Nation was picked as the first choice in children's books for Christmas in yesterday's Toronto Star. --Old Dickens 22:55, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Constant Readers may have noticed that I'm on a Nation kick. What boggles the mind is the apparent unpopularity of this book here or in general. Isn't this a better book, on the grand scale, than Making Money? Is it not the hottest prospect in the whole catalog for a movie deal? (Yes, the cigar-waver who wanted to "lose the Death angle" would say that the two-kids-on-the-desert-island has been done, but it's not the same.) Can anyone suggest what this book lacks, or has too much of, to be so neglected?

I do allow that it's a book for very bright children only; the Author's Note suggests that thinking about it may be necessary. It's probably even harder than Tiffany's darker moments. --Old Dickens 02:50, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
